I dont even boil my cotton tbh. Maybr I should but I dont.
Just ensure it is wet before firing. Its easily pulled through the coil and once in it can easily be pulled from side to side. Riptrippers video covers it all.
I personally use the little blue handled screwdrivers that come with most clone attys as my coil mandrel but experiment and see what works for you.
Rebuildables are a learning curve, but its a worthwhile investment in time and effort as fas as I'm concerned, I simply don't get on with clearomisers as I like a very airy draw.
The advise I offer to anyone is its highly unlikely that the first vaping equipment you get will be bang on. It highly unlikely that if I gave you what I would consider to be bang on, you would agree, its as subjective as clothing or shoes or a choice of car.
All people can really offer are suggestions. As an example, aqua clones became available a couple of months back, many people bought them, along with the origin clone mod to make a hybrid set up.
Many were sold on quickly - people found them difficult to build on or just didn't get on with them.
The origin/aqua hybrid in 18650 mode is one of my recent acquisition's and onr of my favorite set ups full stop, I've not had a single problem with wicking, flavour is awesome, the origin mod I find great once I'd stripped and reassembled the switch (I did not modify anything, simply stripped it and reassembled it).
I paid no more for my set up than anyone else, its just it suits me and not others. Many swear by the kayfun, I think its a good design but it doesn't really suit me and not because of any fault with the device. All you can do is give things a fair go and learn from their short comings for you. As you try tjings you'll also become able to interpret reviewers findings in relation to yourself, I know if
todd says a device is too airy, there's a chance I wont need to take a drill to it, if he says its just right for him, I'll more than likely have a test pull then use at least a 2mm drill bit. Todd likes small 18350 mods. I find them far too small to use and dont get on with 18350 cells at all.
That doesn't make either one of us right or wrong, it just means I can use todds reviews to gauge how I will take to a device.
